Full Mouth Reconstruction Services
 Extensive dental damage can take a serious toll on both your health and confidence. Full mouth reconstruction offers a comprehensive solution for individuals with multiple missing, damaged, or worn-down teeth. At Parkside Dental, our expert team combines Restorative, Cosmetic, and functional dental techniques to rebuild your entire smile—from the roots to the surface.
What Is Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Full mouth reconstruction, also called full mouth restoration or rehabilitation, refers to a customized combination of dental treatments designed to restore function, health, and aesthetics to your entire mouth. Unlike cosmetic-only smile makeovers, reconstruction focuses on fixing underlying issues affecting the structure and use of your teeth and bite.
Common reasons for needing full mouth reconstruction include:
| • |
Severe Tooth Decay or Damage - Extensive cavities or broken teeth from trauma or long-term wear.
|
| • |
Tooth Loss - Due to injury, gum disease, or failed restorations.
|
| • |
Bite Misalignment - TMJ disorders or teeth grinding (bruxism) causing pain or uneven wear.
|
| • |
Gum Disease or Bone Loss - Advanced periodontal issues that compromise tooth support.
|
| • |
Genetic or Medical Conditions - Including enamel hypoplasia or radiation side effects. |
This approach integrates both aesthetics and function, aiming not just for a beautiful smile, but for one that works comfortably and reliably every day.
Who Is a Candidate for Full Mouth Reconstruction?
You may be a candidate for full mouth dental reconstruction if you’re struggling with multiple dental issues that affect your comfort, health, or confidence. Many patients who pursue this treatment have:
| • |
Multiple Missing Teeth - Especially in various areas of the mouth.
|
| • |
Worn or Damaged Teeth - Often due to grinding (bruxism), acid erosion, or trauma.
|
| • |
Bite Problems or Jaw Pain - Including TMJ disorders or difficulty chewing.
|
| • |
Failed Dental Work - Such as old crowns, bridges, or fillings that no longer function.
|
| • |
Chronic Dental Issues - Including gum disease or infections. |
Your dental team will evaluate your bone and gum health, review your medical history, and use digital imaging to develop a tailored plan. Conditions like autoimmune disease or a history of radiation therapy may influence the treatment approach.
What Treatments Are Included in a Full Mouth Reconstruction?
Every full mouth reconstruction treatment plan is unique, designed to address your specific needs and goals. These plans often involve several procedures across multiple phases:
| • |
Dental Implants - Replace one or more missing teeth with permanent, root-like structures.
|
| • |
Crowns and Bridges - Restore broken or missing teeth for strength and aesthetics.
|
| • |
Porcelain Veneers - Enhance the appearance of visible teeth while correcting shape or color.
